Mazovian is out of his league here and Trade Storm's form doesn't quite hold up to that of the remaining pair. Azrael won twice over today's trip last season, including a decent nursery at Newmarket, and finished a respectable third in a mile handicap here on his seasonal debut. He's a consistent sort and looks sure to make a bold bid but CODEMASTER is just preferred. The winner of a Newmarket maiden, he found only one too good in the Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar in October and Henry Candy's charge should have too much class for his chief rival here.
